About cookies

In 2002, the European Union launched the Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications, a policy requiring end users consent for the placement of cookies, and similar technologies for storing and accessing information on users equipment. In particular, it mandates that storing data in a user’s computer can only be done if the user is provided information about how this data is used, and the user is given the possibility of denying this storing operation.

What are cookies

A cookie, also known as an HTTP cookie, web cookie, or browser cookie, is a small piece of data sent from a website and stored in a user\'s web browser while the user is browsing that website. Every time the user loads the website, the browser sends the cookie back to the server to notify the website of the user\'s previous activity. Cookies were designed to be a reliable mechanism for websites to remember stateful information (such as items in a shopping cart) or to record the user\'s browsing activity (including clicking particular buttons, logging in, or recording which pages were visited by the user as far back as months or years ago).
